Journal Usage
CPJ is a benefit of Division 13 membership, and APA members and nonmembers may also
purchase print and/or online subscriptions. Most readers access CPJ electronically through their
institutions’ subscriptions to the APA PsycArticles database, which offers access to Online First
articles and to the journal’s current and back content online.
Institutional Distribution
Table 1 shows the institutional subscriptions to the journal, either in single-journal print format, or
via PsycArticles database access.
Over 4,100 institutions subscribe to PsycArticles: CPJ reaches millions of students,
researchers, policymakers, and practitioners through the database
Full-text access is also granted to health professionals in developing regions (over 100
countries, areas, and territories) through the World Health Organization’s HINARI program.
APA’s institutional library marketing team are focused on ensuring renewal rates and retention of
library customers for the PsycArticles package, of which CPJ is an integral component.
Individual Distribution
Figure 2 shows individuals who subscribed to the journal through the Division, APA, or on their
own. Over 3,000 individuals were also able to access it through PsycNET Gold and Platinum
packages.

Financial Performance
SCP, other APA member, and non-APA individual subscription revenue increased in 2020.
Institutional single print subscription revenue decreased; this is not unexpected due to library
budget constraints and the general shift towards online database access. The journal increased
its database royalty allocation after another strong year of downloads. As of 2019, the new
database royalty allocation takes into account both the number full-text downloads to journal
content within a calendar year as well as the amount of content a journal contributes to the
database in a 10-year period. The “Other” category of revenue decreased after a bump last year
resulting from an Open Access Article Processing Charge (APC).
On the expense side, CPJ’s production costs increased slightly in 2020. The journal’s
acceptances bounced back (31 in 2020 vs. 15 in 2019) resulting in higher copyediting and
typesetting costs. The “Other” line item total decreased after the 2020 designer charges for
creating a new cover; remaining overhead costs here increased slightly with the higher overall
subscriber count and pages published.
In 2021 Division members were presented with the ability to opt in or out of getting a printed
copy of the journal mailed to them; we are likely to see some future savings as a result of more
members choosing to go E-Only.

Outreach
Goals:
Increase high quality submissions
Increase downloads and visibility in the field
Expand the journal’s international reach to wider practice audiences, communities, and
secondary markets
Library Marketing
The collective market strength of APA PsycArticles®, our full-text Journals database, defines the
continued success of individual journals and the program as a whole. The unique content of your
journal, made discoverable alongside the nearly 90 other journals in APA PsycArticles®, is a key
component to the collective value provided to our institutional subscribers around the world. As
indicated by the journal financial performance, database usage provides the vast majority (over
99%) of reader access.
Today we know that library budgets are flat or shrinking, and usage (i.e., article downloads by
university faculty and students) is a primary driver of librarian decision-making. APA’s Library
Marketing team is dedicated to both protecting current subscriptions and growing the journal’s
reader base.
Author Marketing
Calls for Papers
The Author Marketing team builds individual contact lists for each call for papers, drawing from:
PsycArticles, PsycBooks, and PsycInfo author data
APA membership database of more than 122,000 researchers, educators, clinicians,
consultants, and students—including members of specific APA Divisions and sections,
governance bodies, subscribers to relevant APA journals, and members of partner
associations
Other research databases, including Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports and Web of Science
Conference attendee lists
Article/Special Issue Spotlights & Highlights
Article Spotlights are free summaries of articles or groups of articles (e.g., special section or
special issue). Recommended by the Editors as noteworthy for the field, summaries are written
by the authors with guidance from the APA Journals staff. Each Highlight feature is emailed to a
targeted list of authors, faculty, and APA members interested in relevant topics. It is also posted
in the APA Journals Highlights page.

Our posts are regularly shared and cross-promoted by other APA social media channels,
including in particular the APA Facebook page, with over 560,000 followers, and the APA Twitter

APA Publishing Insider Newsletter
In an effort to highlight the APA Author and Reviewer Resource Centers and bring more attention to
the Editor-selected content (e.g., calls for papers, Article Spotlights), we launched a newsletter, the
APA Publishing Insider E-Newsletter in July 2019. This is an additional opportunity to highlight
advantages of publishing with APA to current and potential journal authors and reviewers.
Publons: Peer Review Recognition
In an effort to support our Editorial Boards, APA Journals are partnered with Publons, a service that
provides instant recognition for peer review and enables APA reviewers and action editors to
maintain a verified record of their contributions for use in promotion and funding applications. In
2020, 28 verified reviews from CPJ were claimed by verified reviewers, with an uptake rate of 26%.

Open Science, Equity and Inclusion
APA publishing launched an equity, diversity, and inclusion framework in 2020 to better guide our
program’s diversity efforts (see Figure 4).
Accordingly, we encourage journal editors to adopt reporting standards and practices that can help
promote a more transparent and equitable scientific process. Working with Dr. Nowack, we
implemented a number of recommended practices in 2020 and 2021.
APA Publishing will soon offer an Editor Toolkit to aid partners and editors with decision-making
around EDI and research transparency practices. Suggested reporting requirements might
include:
• Asking for detailed sample descriptions and a generalizability statement in the Abstract
and the Methods/Discussion sections (CPJ added in 2021)
• Asking authors to justify sample demographics in the Discussion and describe their
sample inclusion efforts (CPJ added in 2021)
• Offering Registered Reports as a new article type
• Adopting a journal diversity statement
• Adopting Constraints on Generality (COG) statement (CPJ added in 2021)
• Adopting positionality statements (CPJ added in 2021)
• Open Science Badges (CPJ added in 2020)
• Author Contribution Statements using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) (CPJ
added in 2021)

Conclusion
This annual review of the distribution, production, and operational statistics; editorial content
performance; finances; and outreach efforts helps us note trends and effectively guide CPJ through
the rapidly changing landscape of academic publishing.
We congratulate Division 13 and Dr. Nowack and his team on another fantastic year for CPJ! We
thank you for your flexibility and collaboration as we adapted to a changing set of circumstances
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are happy to see that the journal has continued its success
across a range of metrics in 2020.
The journal received 80 submissions, a nearly 70% increase! Published content attracted solid
download counts and received social and popular media attention. The journal has recently enacted
a number of impactful transparency and equity measures, including offering Open Science Badges,
contributor roles taxonomy, and revised reporting sample requirements. We look forward to
continuing the cycle of discussion and improvement of practices to ensure an inclusive journal and
science.
Our top priorities continue to be increasing high quality submissions from authors around the world,
utilization of Article Spotlight and social media to engage readers and authors with CPJ content,
and broadening the journal’s international and interdisciplinary reach.
APA Journals thanks you for the opportunity to partner with Division 13 and promote the valuable,
impactful, and educational material in Consulting Psychology Journal. We look forward to
discussing a renewal of our publication agreement to facilitate the journal’s ongoing growth.
We welcome your thoughts and suggestions on the journal’s performance. Please contact Hilary
Peterson ([email protected]) with any questions or comments.
